Biography
Hassan Abdi Dhuhulow and his Somalian family moved to Norway in 1999, settling in the coastal city of Larvik, only 75 miles south of Oslo. In Heyerdahl High School, his classmates found out that he was a radical islamist. In 2009 he returned to Somalia and communication with his family became sporadic, and in March 2013 he joined al-Shabaab. He murdered radio journalist Hassan Yusuf Absuge for his coverage of local Islamic extremism, but he was acquitted of the crime because there was little proof that he carried it out. On 21 September 2013, he planned the Westgate Massacre in a Kenyan shopping mall in an act of terrorism. It is unknown if he is among the four terrorists who were killed in the massacre of 67 civilians.
